G80 performance revealed

NVIDIA is set to launch its upcoming G80 GeForce 8800GTX and 8800GTS graphics cards next week, however, DailyTech has managed to obtain a GeForce 8800GTX board to run a couple quick benchmarks on. The GeForce 8800GTX used for testing is equipped with 768MB of GDDR3 video memory on a 384-bit memory bus as previously reported. Core and memory clocks are set at 575 MHz and 900 MHz respectively.

From these first few benchmarks, the differences between the G80 GTX and ATIs X1950XTX are huge. Of course the G80 requires more power, but not -that- much, despite requiring two PCI-E connectors.
